The “problem” (albeit it a very nice one) in Pitigliano is where to eat when several restaurants are so good offering imaginative menus at competitive prices. This time we opted for the Locanda del Pozzo Antico, drawn to the restaurant by the rich perfume of...black truffles emanating from the kitchen. So it was pici al tartufo for him (sublime) whilst I went for a starter and a salad served together. The starter – crostone with slithers of fresh fennel topped with finocchiona was just the other side of wonderful. The old Jewish recipe salad (so the menu claims) of blood orange, fennel, black olive and rucola was a plate of fresh, crunchy pleasure as a riot of flavours flooded the palate. It’s certainly a dish I shall be recreating at home. This, a half bottle of must-drink-when-in-Pitigliano Pitigliano bianco, an artisan beer, one tiramisu and two coffees came in at just over €40. Fantastic value, superb quality. Service and ambience (we sat outside on a tiny terrace) excellent. We will be back soon. (Only wished we lived a bit nearer ...)More
